No. II.] THE, BRYOPHYTES OF CONNECTICUT. 27 is quoted for a number of the most interesting species, and Professor O. D. Allen, Mr. A. Barron, Mr. E. E. Brewster, Mr. W. T. Browne, Mr. N. Coleman, Dr. F. W. Hall, Dr. G. R. Kleeberger, Mr. F. N. Pease, Mr. R. Veitch, and Mr. A. H. Young are also mentioned as collectors. The Berzelius List has of course served as a basis for subsequent work on Connecticut Bryophytes, but no publication on the entire group, dealing with either the whole or a part of the state, has since appeared. During the last thirty years, however, the Mosses and Hepatics have by no means been neglected, and many ad¬ ditional species have been detected within the state. Several of these were found by Professor Eaton himself, who continued his active interest in bryology throughout his life. Others were collected by Mr. J. A. Alien, including a number of rare and minute species which have not been rediscovered by later observers. Still others were found by more recent students of Professor Eaton, Mr. E. B. Harger, Professor W. A. Setchell, and Dr. C. B. Graves being among the number. During the last decade some of the most interesting additions have been made by Mrs. Josephine D- Lowe and Miss Annie Lorenz, and the authors of the present catalogue have also had a share in swelling the list of Connecticut Bryophytes. In spite of this active collecting very little has been pub¬ lished on the true Mosses (Bryales) of Connecticut since the Berzelius List. A search through the scattered literature has brought to light less than a dozen species which.are actually additions. Among the more important of these are the follow¬ ing : — Thuidium Alleni Aust., described from sterile speci- rjiens collected by Mr. J. A. Allen in Beaver Meadows, near New Haven; the rare Claopodium pellucinerve (Mitt.) Best, collected by Mrs. Lowe at Noroton in the town of Darien, and reported upon by Miss Harriet Wheeler; and Anacamptodon splachnoides Brid., first recorded by Mrs. Lowe from Burn- side, in the town of East Hartford. As the present report shows, the number of known species is now 245. This does not include the two species of Andreaea discovered by Mr. J. A. Allen, which of course belong to a different natural order (Andreaeales). For the "Musci Americae Septentrionalis
